This is the second batch of Glen Ord single malt to be bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company, featuring a label the references the trusty Porteus malt mill. These are bits of kit that are so trusty, they just don't break. That might sound like a good thing, but it did mean that once everyone had one, they didn't need to sell them anymore, and the company that made them eventually went out of business...
Batch 2 is a release of 77 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Buttered popcorn, honey, candle wax, greengages and white grapes.
Heavy with vanilla and oak, followed by a refreshing burst of green apple. Subtle wafts of barley give it a floral hint on the mid-palate.
Lasting spiciness of fresh ginger and white pepper.
Superb bourbon cask maturation, floral aromas, fruity taste with a lot of elderberry and sugarcane juice going on. Yummy, but a tad price-y.
